Abstract

Improving statistical literacy across the globe is an important goal that can be achieved by coming together and taking collective action. In this presentation we will present the current efforts made by the ISLP to (i) Encourage statistical literacy in schools; (ii) Promote data-driven decision making; (iii) Increase public awareness of statistical concepts; (iv) Use technology to enhance learning.
ISLP's network of country coordinators has more than 140 facilitators around the world in charge of promoting and implementing project activities. Country coordinators' goals are improving statistical literacy, giving suggestions and ideas how to develop ISLP, advancing and implementing ISLP plans within own country/region and providing informing material (e.g. on coming events, country’s ISLP activities) to the ISLP team and the ISLP Newsletter.
Improving statistical literacy requires a collective effort from individuals, organizations, and governments across the globe. By working together, we can promote a better understanding of statistics and data analysis, and empower individuals to make informed decisions based on data.
